The positioning function acts as the basic function of the terminal device, and the power consumption of the positioning function is always a common problem. For example, some applications of terminal devices often initiate positioning in a short time, resulting in excessively high power consumption. Some applications start positioning for a long time, resulting in excessively high power consumption. Some applications (such as the QQ browser) initiate positioning and acquire positioning data by using a broadcast notification type, so if the application does not actively cancel positioning, the system will Even if the process is terminated, positioning can not be stopped, resulting in excessively high power consumption.

When the processor 210 does not send positioning data to the first application program, the first application program may not execute the positioning service, reducing the power consumption generated when the first application program executes. Let's do it.

  Thus, according to the terminal device in this embodiment of the invention, when the first application program is in a positioning service restricted state and the first application program is currently running in the background, the processor may: Provides no positioning service to the first application program at all. This implements active control over the power consumption provided by the positioning service at the terminal device and is such as frequent positioning initiation or long-term positioning of several application programs running in the background of the terminal device Anomalous positioning behavior of the terminal device may be avoided to reduce power consumption of the terminal device, increase the standby time of the terminal device, and improve the user experience.

  In this embodiment of the present invention, positioning service permission status may be set for all or some application programs installed on the terminal device 200. For example, the positioning service permission status of an application program that may or may have abnormal positioning behavior may be set to a positioning service restricted state. Optionally, the positioning service permission status of each application program may be set by the user, or may be the default setting of the terminal device, or by analyzing and collecting statistics on the application program's behavior It may be determined by the terminal device. This embodiment of the invention is not limited herein. Alternatively, some application programs may be set to the positioning service restricted state, and other application programs not set to the positioning service restricted state are in the positioning service restricted state by default, or default Positioning service is not in a restricted state. This embodiment of the invention sets no limitation here.

  In an optional embodiment, processor 210 may separately determine the positioning service permission status and the execution status of the application program.

For example, the terminal device 200 further includes a memory. The memory may store positioning service blacklists. The positioning service black list includes at least one application program set to the positioning service limited state. In this case, the processor 210 may determine whether the first application program is in a positioning service restricted state by querying whether the positioning service blacklist includes the first application program.

  Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications, and more particularly, to a terminal device and a positioning information processing method applied to the terminal device.

  As the new generation mobile intelligence platform becomes popular, positioning by using the Global Positioning System (GPS), or another type of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), It is the most standard feature of all current intelligent terminals (such as mobile phones and tablet computers). The positioning function acts as the basic function of the terminal device, and the power consumption of the positioning function is always a common problem. For example, some applications of terminal devices often initiate positioning in a short time, resulting in excessively high power consumption. Some applications start positioning for a long time, resulting in excessively high power consumption. Some applications (such as the QQ browser) initiate positioning and acquire positioning data by using a broadcast notification type, so if the application does not actively cancel positioning, the system will Even if the process is terminated, positioning can not be stopped, resulting in excessively high power consumption.

  To solve the aforementioned problems, the technical solution shown in FIG. 1 is proposed in the prior art. In the technical solution, the terminal discovers anomalous positioning behavior, such as long-term positioning or frequent positioning, by using algorithmic policies, and mobile phone manager for power-intensive applications by using broadcast messages.

However, in the prior art, if the terminal user does not perform any processing, whether to provide a positioning service to the application program depends entirely on the requirements of the application program. This can not implement active control over the power consumption provided by the positioning service.

  In this embodiment of the invention, the positioning chip may provide positioning service to the application program 220 by using the processor 210. For example, the application program 220 may send a positioning request to the processor 210, and the processor 210 may transfer the positioning request to the positioning chip, and after receiving the positioning request, the positioning chip may use the processor 210. The application program 220 may send the current positioning data of the terminal device 200.

In particular, processor 210 may be configured to receive positioning information, where the positioning information may include positioning requests sent by the application program or positioning data sent by the positioning chip. The processor 210 may determine whether to send positioning information corresponding to the application program according to the current status of the application program, wherein the positioning information corresponding to the application program is a positioning request sent by the application program Or positioning data requested by the application program. Optionally, the current status of the application program may include at least one of positioning service permission status or execution status, where execution status may include foreground execution, background execution, or not. The positioning service permission status may include being in a positioning service restricted state or not in a positioning service restricted state. Optionally, not being in a positioning service restricted state may be referred to as being in a positioning service not limiting state. Positioning Services Application programs that are not in a restricted state are allowed to use positioning services in any case. For example, all positioning service requests of the application program in a positioning service non-limited state are allowed and fulfilled. However, an application program in a positioning service limited state is permitted to use the positioning service in some conditions (for example, running in the foreground) and using the positioning service in other conditions. It is forbidden. The conditions under which the application program is permitted to use or prohibited from using the positioning service may be preset. For example, the conditions are set by the user of the terminal device or set by the vendor of the terminal device. This embodiment of the invention sets no limitation here.

  Optionally, the processor 210 may send positioning information corresponding to the application program if the application program is currently in a non-positioning service restricted state or if the application program is currently running in the foreground.

  Optionally, the processor may not send positioning information corresponding to the application program if the application program is currently in a positioning service restricted state or if the application program is currently running in the background.

  For example, the processor 210 is configured to receive the positioning request sent by the first application program and to determine whether to forward the positioning request to the positioning chip according to the current status of the first application program. You may Optionally, if the processor 210 determines that the first application program is in a positioning service unrestricted state or determines that the first application program is executing in the foreground, the processor 210 determines the positioning The positioning request may be forwarded to the chip. Optionally, in another embodiment, if processor 210 determines that the first application program is in a positioning service restricted state or determines that the first application program is executing in the background: The processor 210 may discard the positioning request and may not forward the positioning request to the positioning chip.

  As another example, the processor 210 should receive positioning data sent by the positioning chip and send positioning data to each application program according to the current status of each application program in at least one application program requesting positioning service It may be configured to determine whether or not. The processor 210 may determine at least one application program requesting positioning service according to the received at least one positioning request, or obtain a positioning service request application list, and all applications in the positioning service request application list The program may be determined as at least one application program requesting a positioning service. The positioning service request application list may be generated by the processor 210 according to the received positioning request or may be generated by another component. This embodiment of the invention sets no limitation here.

  In this case, optionally, processor 210 has determined that the first application program in the at least one application program is in a positioning service unrestricted state, or the first application program is running in the foreground If so, the processor 210 may send positioning data to the first application program. Optionally, in another embodiment, if processor 210 determines that the first application program in the at least one application program is currently in a positioning service restricted state and running in the background, processor In 210, it is not necessary to send positioning data to the first application program. In this case, optionally, the processor 210 is in an application program that is in at least one application program and is in a positioning service unrestricted state, and in at least one application program and runs in the foreground The positioning data may be sent to the application program being However, this embodiment of the invention is not limited herein. When the processor 210 does not send positioning data to the first application program, the first application program may not execute the positioning service, reducing the power consumption generated when the first application program executes. Let's do it.

  Thus, according to the terminal device in this embodiment of the invention, when the first application program is in a positioning service restricted state and the first application program is currently running in the background, the processor may: Provides no positioning service to the first application program at all. This implements active control over the power consumption provided by the positioning service at the terminal device and is such as frequent positioning initiation or long-term positioning of several application programs running in the background of the terminal device Anomalous positioning behavior of the terminal device may be avoided to reduce power consumption of the terminal device, increase the standby time of the terminal device, and improve the user experience.

  In this embodiment of the present invention, positioning service permission status may be set for all or some application programs installed on the terminal device 200. For example, the positioning service permission status of an application program that may or may have abnormal positioning behavior may be set to a positioning service restricted state. Optionally, the positioning service permission status of each application program may be set by the user, or may be the default setting of the terminal device, or by analyzing and collecting statistics on the application program's behavior It may be determined by the terminal device. This embodiment of the invention is not limited herein. Alternatively, some application programs may be set to the positioning service restricted state, and other application programs not set to the positioning service restricted state are in the positioning service restricted state by default, or default Positioning service is not in a restricted state. This embodiment of the invention sets no limitation here.

  In an optional embodiment, processor 210 may separately determine the positioning service permission status and the execution status of the application program.

  In particular, processor 210 may, in several forms, determine whether the application program is in a positioning service restricted state. For example, the terminal device 200 further includes a memory. The memory may store positioning service blacklists. The positioning service black list includes at least one application program set to the positioning service limited state. In this case, the processor 210 may determine whether the first application program is in a positioning service restricted state by querying whether the positioning service blacklist includes the first application program. Alternatively, the terminal device 200 may set a tag related to the application program to indicate the positioning service permission status of the application program. The terminal device 200 may set tags for all application programs, where the tag indicates that the application program is in a positioning service restricted state or in a positioning service unrestricted state. Alternatively, the terminal device 200 may set the tag only for the application program set to the positioning service restricted state, that is, the application program to which the tag is set is the application program in the positioning service restricted state. An application program that is present and not tagged at all is an application program in a state where the positioning service is not restricted. In this case, the processor determines whether the first application program is in a positioning service restricted state by the tag of the first application program or by whether the tag is set for the first application program You may Optionally, the processor may determine the positioning service permission status of the application program in another form. This embodiment of the invention sets no limitation here.

  Optionally, if the processor 210 determines that the first application program is currently running in the foreground, the processor 210 determines the positioning service permission status of the first application program, or the first The step of determining whether the application program is in a positioning service limited state may not be performed. Instead, the processor 210 sends positioning information corresponding to the first application program directly. Alternatively, if the processor 210 determines that the first application program is not in a positioning service limited state, the processor 210 may not perform the step of determining the execution status of the first application program. Instead, the processor 210 sends positioning information corresponding to the first application program directly. However, this embodiment of the invention is not limited herein.

  In another optional embodiment, processor 210 may not separately determine the positioning service permission status and the execution status of the application program. Instead, the processor 210 directly determines whether the current status of the application program is allowed to use the positioning service or is prohibited from using the positioning service. The application programs that are prohibited from using the positioning service are the application programs that are in the positioning service restricted state and are running in the background. An application program that is permitted to use the positioning service is an application program that is not in the positioning service restricted state, or an application program that is running in the foreground. Optionally, the memory of the terminal device 200 may store a positioning service frozen application list. Positioning Service The frozen application list includes at least one application program that is prohibited from using the positioning function. In this case, the processor 210 may directly determine the current status of the first application program by querying the positioning service frozen application list. In particular, if the positioning service frozen application list includes the first application program, the processor is prohibited from using the current status of the first application program to use the positioning function, ie The application program may be determined to be currently in a positioning service limited state and running in the background. Otherwise, if the positioning service frozen application list does not include the first application program, the processor 210 is allowed to use the positioning function for the current status of the first application program, ie It may be determined that the first application program is not in a positioning service restricted state or that the first application program is running in the foreground. However, this embodiment of the invention is not limited herein.

  Optionally, the positioning service frozen application list may be generated by the processor 210. For example, the processor may add to the positioning service frozen application list at least one application program in positioning service limited state and running in the background. However, this embodiment of the invention is not limited herein.

  Optionally, processor 210 may be further configured to update the positioning service frozen application list. In particular, the processor 210 may periodically update or be triggered to update the positioning service frozen application list. For example, if the application program in the positioning service frozen list changes from background execution to foreground execution, the processor 210 may delete the application program from the positioning service frozen application list. Alternatively, if the application program in the positioning service restricted state changes from foreground execution to background execution, the processor 210 may add the application program to the positioning service frozen application list. Or, the setting of the user or the terminal device changes, so that the application program in the positioning service restricted state changes to not being in the positioning service restricted state, and the application program is the positioning service frozen application list If so, the processor 210 may delete the application program from the positioning service frozen application list. However, this embodiment of the invention is not limited herein.

  In another optional embodiment, the processor 210 at the terminal device 200 is configured to determine whether the current status of the terminal device 200 is to provide positioning service to at least one application program requesting positioning service. May be done. For example, processor 210 may determine whether to send the obtained positioning information according to the current status of the terminal device.
